The US is in no way morally superior to Al Qaeda, huh?mistermack wrote:You both got me wrong. I don't give a toss who kills who, between Al Qaeda and the US.
But it's perfectly clear that the US is in no way morally superior to Al Qaeda. They are at best, as bad as each other. At worst, the US has least moral justification.
They both use the argument that they have been attacked, and are defending themselves.
The US is the biggest liar, because it's perfectly obvious that if they had stayed at home, and didn't interfere in Arab countries, nobody would have attacked them.
The US started it.
In a situation where both are claiming to be defending themselves, the US is the biggest liar.
They start a war, and then claim self defence.

What attacks, exactly, did the US do to Al Qaeda before those poor misunderstood freedom fighters started blowing things up? What did the Spanish, Indonesian, Pakistani, British, Kenyan, Tanzanian and various Muslim people do to them? They all attacked Al Qaeda first?
You're just looking for a political excuse for Al Qaeda and what it does, but you're not able to think like them. Al Qaeda uses religious excuses for its own ends, and then idiots in the west assume they must have some reasonable politics behind them. "Well, there's two sides fighting; they must be equally responsible and equally bad people." What a pile of brainless crap. Go live under sharia law and then live in the US and tell me which side is more to blame. The US & the west started nothing. Seriously, what first strikes upon Islam are the west responsible for? Unless of course you want to say that basing troops in Saudi Arabia, at Saudi Arabia's blessing, justifies jihad. That and support for Israel (boo fucking hoo) is what Al Qaeda has complained about.
